EDC is full of hills to die on. Some folks swear by titanium pry bars; others think they’re pocket jewelry. Knife steel debates read like wine tasting notes. Flashlight guys can’t agree on whether more lumens or higher CRI is better. But underneath it all is a bigger question: are we carrying tools, or are we curating identities?

This week’s Deep Cuts digs into the most overrated gear, according to you.

Let’s do the damn thing.

This Week At BDEDC

Deep Cuts

This week, we’re talking about the most overrated gear in everyday carry. From multi-tools that don’t deserve the hype to pry bars and other gear that falls flat, the community had plenty to say about what just isn’t worth it. We’ve also got knife news out of NYCKS with a stolen prototype, Victorinox eyeing U.S. production, a new Show and Tell with some Swiss steel, and more.

Carry Commission Drop

This week’s drop at Carry Commission saw a restock of the CC exclusive Tactile Knife Co. Redhawk, but they sold out quickly.

If you are itching for some CC exclusives, at the time of writing, we still have a few each of the Pro-Tech Topo Malibu, the Bilgewater Blades Jack Rabbit, and the Jack Wolf Knives K9 Jack in stock.

If you missed the Redhawk at Carry Commission, don’t worry. There are still plenty left in stock over at Tactile Knife Co in the standard color configurations.
